PE Info for all students

Information for PE Students

CHANGING AND MEETING AREAS:

These are the areas to get changed and meet for each venue …
GYM           
Enter through the changing room doors, get changed in the gym changing rooms and then meet on the mezzanine floor.
HALL
Enter through the back doors into the hall changing rooms, get changed then meet in front of the stage.
COURTS
Get changed in the gym changing rooms then meet on the seating outside the gym.
FIELD
Get changed in the hall and meet on the grandstand.
CLASSROOM   
No need to get changed.  Wait outside the gym classroom, check the board for directions or wait until the teacher directs you where to go.

•    NOTE: when the hall is being used for exams or other events, then all students must use the gym changing rooms.

UNIFORM:
•    Years 7-10 wear a set PE uniform consisting of green shorts and either house t-shirt or green sports shirt.  This is compulsory for Years 7-10.  •    Appropriate sports clothing and footwear must be worn to PE at all times (including mufti days). •    If students need to wear an alternative PE uniform, they must provide a note in their link books.  Denim jeans or singlet tops are not appropriate for physical activities.  This is still counted as incorrect PE gear.
•    Hats are compulsory for Years 7, 8 & 9 in Terms 1 and 4 (teachers be a good example and wear your hats too please!).  Hats are encouraged for all other PE classes.
•    Years 11-13 may wear tidy and appropriate mufti for PE.

PUNCTUALITY:
•    Students are given 5 minutes to arrive and get changed from their previous class.  Failure to do so will ensure you are recorded as late on the absence system.

NO PE GEAR/INCORRECT PE GEAR: 
•    One warning, then 1 demerit issued each time CORRECT PE gear is not worn. If a note is provided, then this will not count as incorrect gear.  This is renewed each term.
•    No gear / incorrect gear is counted for Homework grade on reports.  If you have the correct gear all the time =5, missed it once =4, twice =3, three times =2, more than three times =1.

JUNIOR LINKBOOKS:
•    These need to be brought to every class, in case the teacher would like to write notes home, and to show explanation notes.

NOTES:
•    If for any reason (i.e. you are sick or injured) you are unable to do PE, you must bring a note, written in your linkbook, signed by parents/caregivers, explaining why you are unable to participate, to be excused from the lesson.
•    If an injury or illness is ongoing, your teacher may require a letter from your doctor to explain this.
•    When you bring a note to explain yourself, you may be asked to help the teacher for the lesson.  You must also bring pen and paper in case work is given to you for that lesson.

FACILITIES AND EQUIPMENT:
•    Please remember to take care of all our facilities.  Any damage from you or your class that is found throughout the year will result in your class being withdrawn from that facility for an unspecified period.
•    NO EATING IN THE GYM, HALL, CHANGING ROOMS OR CLASSROOM!
•    Equipment needs to be respected.  Any damage which happens needs to be reported to your teacher so that it can be repaired or replaced.  All gear must be left alone, unless authorised by a staff member.
•    Do not enter gear rooms unless instructed to by a teacher – these are otherwise out of bounds.

From 2010 onwards, the Weights Room will be open 2 lunchtimes per week and 2 after school sessions per week, supervised by a PE/Sports staff member.  Year 10-13 students are welcome to use the weights room during these times.  Membership is $10 per term, payable to the HOD Sport.  Members will need a change of clothes, sports shoes, towel and water bottle.  Access will be restricted to these times only so that staff can assist students with their training programmes and provide a safe training environment. 
 
Any sports teams who wish to use the weights room as part of their trainings are welcome to do so, and this can be booked through the HOD Sport.  These trainings will need to be supervised by the coach/manager/TIC.  Normal weights room rules and procedures will apply at all times.
 
We would like to encourage all Year 10-13 students to take up the opportunity to use the weights room on a regular basis.  Any questions, please see HOD Sport.
